Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted June 5, 2013 Hash Fellow Share Posted June 5, 2013 Do all decaled models do this? Just to try... try loading the project in a previous version like v16 or v15 if you still have one installed and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is an easy way to do that using "Project > Consolidate". See you *Fuchur* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted June 6, 2013 Hash Fellow Share Posted June 6, 2013 The maps display a bit oddly in realtime but they do show up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve392 Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 Thank,s a lot Robert ,I think it must be the vidio card then,I think I have the latest drivers so a new one then .Thank,s for taking the time ,maybe you could improve on the model especially the mapping lol.I have no real idea how you do that wrap/unwrap stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted June 6, 2013 Hash Fellow Share Posted June 6, 2013 Thank,s a lot Robert ,I think it must be the vidio card then,I think I have the latest drivers so a new one then . If your card was working before and the model works in other versions of A:M then i don't think it's the card. It must be something else.

steve392 Posted June 6, 2013 Author Share Posted June 6, 2013 Yea your right ,it works in v16 fine .Was that 17 you used Robert ,maybe a re install or something by the way the banner at the top scrolling across the page is covering the view new posts button for me ,it never used to did something change here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Rodney Posted June 6, 2013 Admin Share Posted June 6, 2013 by the way the banner at the top scrolling across the page is covering the view new posts button for me ,it never used to did something change here An alternative is to click the Animation:Master logo at the top center of the forum. That'll give you the same thing as clicking on the "View New Posts" link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtpeak2 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 I see you have your realtime view set to the highest level. Try lowering it and restarting A:M. You may be running out of memory to display the high res images. V17 had an update to the realtime display of decals, I've had issues as well with displaying the images. You could also try lowering the resolution in a paint program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve392 Posted June 7, 2013 Author Share Posted June 7, 2013 Thank,s Rodney that works a treat ,Mark where do I find the realtime view thingy to change it ps I did as you said and changed it to half size in ps and it worked a treat ,thanks Mark thats graet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought of that... Press "Page Down" a couple of times to decrease the realtime-subdivision-level. This can also be down using the Draw-Toolbar I told you from before...
